Makita is a pioneer in brushless motor engineering, battery technology, and miter saw innovation and has combined this expertise in the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 10 in. Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw. It's powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries for 36V power and performance, but without leaving the 18V LXT platform. Makita brushless motors are engineered for up to 50% longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The XSL06Z-R has an efficient BL Brushless Motor that delivers up to 4400 RPM for fast and efficient cutting, with Automatic Speed ??Change technology to adjust cutting speed and torque under load for optimal performance. The XSL06Z-R has a unique 2-steel rail sliding system design that offers single slide-glide operation for smooth and dead-on accurate cutting right out of the box, as well as a reduced overall footprint that allows the saw to be positioned flush against a wall. The innovative direct-drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (5-1/4 in.) and crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8 in. nested), the largest in its class. It will also crosscut to 4 x 12 at 90 Degrees. The saw miters 0 Degrees to 60 Degrees left and right, with positive stops at 0 Degrees, 15 Degrees, 22.5 Degrees, 31.6 Degrees, 45 Degrees and 60 Degrees (left or right). The bevel lock is located on the front of the saw for easy access and quick adjustments from 0 Degrees to 48 Degrees (left and right). The BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL Motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life Automatic Speed ??Change technology adjusts cutting speed and torque during cutting for optimal performance X2 LXT technology delivers up to 334 cuts per charge in 2 x 4 SPF and up to 192 cuts per charge in 2 x 12 SPF lumber using (2) 5 Ah batteries Reducing saw's footprint and allowing for operation flush against a wall In-front bevel lock for convenient operation
